Bob Dylan has nothing but praise for Timothée Chalamet, who plays the famed singer-songwriter in the upcoming 'A Complete Unknown' film about Dylan's life. Dylan took to X on Wednesday to share his excitement for the biopic and his faith in Chalamet's taking on the role. 'There's a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown ,' Dylan wrote about the movie that opens Christmas Day.

' 'A Complete Unknown' is based on Elijah Wald's 2015 book, 'Dylan Goes Electric!: Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night That Split the Sixties,' which Dylan called 'a fantastic retelling of events from the early '60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport,' in his X post. 'After you've seen the movie read the book,' Dylan instructed fans.
